Paradox Interactive has announced that the Marvellous Monorails expansion for Cities in Motion 2, which adds monorails as a mode of transit to your city, is now available for $9.99. Also, Cities in Motion 2 franchise is now available for Linux users

For $9.99, you’ll pick up five monorail vehicles and be able to decorate your city with them in interesting ways. For example, elevated rails allow them to run above your planned out city with nary a problem. Though best for circular layouts, they’re far more affordable than metro lines. You will need to make a choice between big and slow cars or speedy and expensive carriages though so manage wisely.

Cities in Motion 2 is either way an interesting game that challenges you to manage the transit network of a city by handling buses, trains, ferries, subways and much more. Players will need to create tracks and routes and manage factors such as their budget and population concerns. For more information, here here.

Paradox Interactive’s Cities in Motions 2 has received a new expansion, Marvellous Monorails, to add some new monorail transport vehicles to the city planning simulation. You can also add new elevated rails for the five monorails, thus giving your city a new look. This also marks the release of the franchise for Linux, with the whole franchise now available for the platform.

Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive stated that, “We believe in Linux as a platform for the future of gaming. Gamers who currently use Linux are a smart and demanding bunch, and they expect versatility and an experience that fits their personal preferences, which makes our games a great fit. We’re bringing Cities in Motion to Linux because we believe it’s just the type of game that Linux users will enjoy.”

Best suited to circular layouts and offering a choice between speed and size, Marvellous Monorails promises to revamp public transportation within Cities in Motion 2. What are your thoughts on it? Let us know below.
